Yield

To yield something is to produce or generate a quantity of that something via a process. This is a useful term in coffee as it simplifies a whole lot of language that can be troublesome. For example, when discussing the weight of coffee, do we mean the weight of ground coffee or the weight of the drink? Or, even more abstrusely, we might even be referring to the weight of coffee that ends up dissolved in the drink. We use “yield” to refer to the resulting cup of coffee. A typical brew recipe will contain two weights: the dose and the yield. The yield refers to the weight of the beverage produced, inclusive of water and dissolved coffee.
